On June 4, 2025, at 6:19 PM WAT, Nigerian activist Omoyele Sowore took to X to address a stern message reportedly issued by Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun.

The IGP’s warning, titled “Their Cups Will Soon Be Full,” was directed at activists criticizing the Nigeria Police Force, prompting a sharp response from Sowore, a prominent figure known for his advocacy against government overreach.

Sowore, the founder of Sahara Reporters, shared a post featuring an image of the IGP’s statement alongside his own commentary. In his response, Sowore labeled Egbetokun an “Illegal General” and accused him of benefiting from a tenure extension aimed at influencing the 2027 elections. The activist’s post, which included the hashtag #EgbetokunMustGo, quickly gained traction, reflecting ongoing tensions between Nigerian authorities and civil society.

Here is what he wrote on his official X handle

The controversy surrounding Egbetokun’s tenure stems from a 2024 amendment to the Police Act, which extended his role beyond the mandatory retirement age of 60.

This has fueled debates about the legality of his position, with critics like Sowore arguing it undermines democratic processes.
